WILLIAMS LAKE, B.C. — Two people have been arrested in Williams Lake after police seized multiple firearms and drugs Tuesday evening (June 23).

“The Cariboo Chilcotin Crime Reduction Unit arrested two individuals after stopping a suspect vehicle due to an active firearms investigation,” says Insp. Jeff Pelley.

“A male and female in the vehicle were located in possession of 12 firearms, eight pellet guns, prohibited magazines, several hundred rounds of ammunition and a quantity of cocaine.”

He adds that officers determined that the male suspect had an outstanding arrest warrant for theft under $5,000 and says both remain in custody pending charge approval with a court appearance scheduled for today.

“Violence, weapons offences, and drug trafficking all remain strategic priorities in targeting offenders responsible for this type of behaviour,” says Insp. Pelley. “We remain dedicated to holding these offenders accountable within our court system to enhance community safety.”
